Like a shadow on a shadow, a phantom in a filmstrip, | |
Faint glimmer | |
Of the past trapped in mother's old slides. | |
Sits still in the | |
Apartment while sifting through some pictures | |
Of the child that he | |
Once was and the sense of hope they framed. "It's a shame," | |
And I fear that fate while the humming from the street keeps me awake, | |
He says, "I let life get twisted. Get worn out, torn up, and Late with the rent. And now nothing makes sense except the bench and That piano. A feeling nearing Order when I'm pressing down the Chords." | |
And he plays, | |
And it swells and breaks, but what'll it take to make my life sound like | |
That. And brings a fever, a dream of sweat and ecstasy. | |
A Kiss on every hammer hit that follows as | |
The keys fall down and bring | |
An order first, then chaos, then a calm, that paints every shift | |
In Murals on the wall. | |
And it presses to your neck, it clutches to | |
Your hips, softly sings to you of fireworks and | |
God and art and sex and | |
It's strange— | |
That it feels so right when nothing else does. | |
But all the while he's playing there's a humming | |
Coming up and | |
Through the window from outside. | |
And even he has to admit a certain | |
Melody in it, | |
But then why can't he harmonize? | |
It's like the | |
City's got it's own song but he can't play along. | |
He sees the notes | |
As they fly by but always plays them wrong. | |
And in the bathroom it | |
Gets blurry gets warm and distorted; | |
Like light pushed the orange of | |
The pillbox he poured in his palm. | |
It falls to the floor, he smiles | |
As it hits, "Sounds a little like an instrument." | |
Like a voice in the choir, that hum and that drumbeat of life as an | |
Art-form and | |
Fire through the streets that keep moving us in silence | |
To phantom baton sweeps, | |
Keep tapping to the tempo of our feet. | |
And all the ones who seem to fit the best into the chorus | |
Never notice there's a song | |
And the ones who seem to hear it end up | |
Tortured by the chords when they fail to find | |
A way to sing along. | |
And when you sing the wrong thing it all starts collapsing. | |
Starts to ring out and feedback, starts lapsing and crashing, on | |
Notes that don't clash but that | |
Never quite feel like they match. | |
And I never quite feel like mine match. | |
There's A melody in everything, | |
I'm trying to find a harmony | |
But Nothing seems to work, nothing seems to fit. | |
There's a melody in everything, | |
I'm trying to find a | |
Harmony but | |
Nothing seems to work, nothing seems to fit. | |
There's a melody in everything, | |
I'm trying to find a | |
Harmony but | |
Nothing seems to work, | |
Nothing fits. |
Like a shadow on a shadow, a phantom in a filmstrip, | |
Faint glimmer | |
Of the past trapped in mother' s old slides. | |
